Hawaii SB1394 reduces the minimum revenue requirement for school meals to increase affordability and participation.

Hawaii SB1394 aims to make school meals more affordable for families by lowering the minimum revenue requirement from one-half to one-quarter of the cost of preparing the meals. This change is intended to reduce the financial burden on families, increase student participation in school meal programs, and promote equity. The bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to adjust the pricing of school meals annually based on previous year's costs, rounded to the nearest five cents, and allows for lower rates or free meals for children based on economic need.
